Kent-based Novinium, a recognized technology leader in cable rejuvenation, has hired Westy Ford to the position of product development engineer.

Ford will be part of the company’s new product development group, handling engineering aspects related to new products in electrical cable rejuvenation. He will also be providing lab and experimental support for Novinium’s key engineering projects.
